'Demo and Dine' Evenings
We all like going out for a great dinner, but here at Cook in Cumbria you can not only taste fantastic food, but learn how it’s made! Our ‘Demo and Dine’ evenings are fantastic value, and a great way for friends to enjoy a night out with a difference. You will watch the food being prepared, with an informative discussion about ingredients and methods, and then you will get to sample the results in our beautiful dining-kitchen.

Special Deals - dinner parties and great days out
Group Dinner Parties
Ideal for those on holiday in the Eden Valley, or for a special occasion, we offer delicious dinners for up to twelve people in our spacious dining room overlooking stunning countryside. Whether you choose a basic two or three-course meal or our special celebration meal, you can be assured of excellent quality and service in a relaxed atmosphere. We can also deliver a great meal to your holiday cottage if you're staying in the area.
Group/Family Fun Days
Why not come with Grandma and the kids (and even Dad) for one of our Foodie Fun Days? These special days are for groups of 4 to 10 people and are great fun: there will be demonstrations of some mouth-watering dishes, as well as plenty of hands-on experience, all designed to teach essential skills and build confidence.
Cookery Classes for Kids
We are passionate about getting kids excited about food – and eating healthy food with wonderful fresh, seasonal ingredients. There won’t be a cup cake in sight – this is about real grown-up food, explained, prepared and tasted under the supervision of trained cookery teacher (with 3 kids of her own) Yelly de Jong.
Children will prepare and cook their own lunch, have fun making something to take home, and receive a folder with recipes from the day.
For information about these special events, or to find out more about any of our courses, please give Yelly a call or send a message.
Day courses are only £89 (kids £55) and include ingredients, lunch, glass of wine (for the grown ups), recipes, and a dish to take home.
